Friends: We're looking for interesting and rare pre-1982 cars as subjects for feature car articles (the centerspread) in The Star. We would especially like to find a nice 300SE or 300SE Long finback sedan (1963-1967), preferably in a color other than black. Other suggestions are welcome. Please contact us offline or call us at 303/235-0116. Thanks! Frank Barrett, Editor/Publisher, The Star.

Someone email him suggesting they put their 'beater Merc' in - who has the worst condition car on the forum?

I think they should have some 'as they are used' old Mercedes in there too.. you know, all those people that say 'I should really replace it, but i just keeps on going!'

later!
